Cao Mengde was dragged up not because of Taiping Dao's rebellion, but because this guy was sleeping there!
Experienced people may know that if a hungover person sleeps on the bed, he is likely to be drowned in his own vomit. Obviously, Mrs. Ding is such an experienced person.
Over the years, Cao Mengde has continued to study and practice martial arts, but he has also been drinking and having sex. He really lived a happy life.
But as soon as he was happy, the title of Yilang, which was widely used in the streets of Luoyang, was not enough for him to learn about the occurrence of "big events" in the DPRK at the first time.
Yes, Tang Zhou's debut made everyone realize that this was a 'big event'! But it was only to the extent of a big event.
Someone is plotting a rebellion and has colluded with two of the regular eunuchs. These eunuchs are really hateful!
Then I asked again, and there was actually a rebel leader named Ma Yuanyi who led hundreds of thousands of young refugees from Jingzhou and Yangzhou across the Yellow River, and then turned to Hanoi County in the west at Yecheng, preparing to occupy Mengjin... Very soon
Obviously, this rebel actually wanted to use this method to bypass the Sishui Pass, Xuanmen Pass and other checkpoints in the east of Luoyang, and then cooperate with these two eunuchs to capture Luoyang directly! This must be taken seriously!
Finally, let me ask again, Tang Zhou and Ma Yuanyi were actually just one of the many disciples of Zhang Jiao, while Zhang Jiao worked hard for many years and established thirty-six parties all over the country!
The context of the matter was temporarily clear, and the elites at the empire's center immediately prepared a response plan overnight.
First of all, the safety of Luoyang is the most important. Ma Yuanyi and the 100,000 refugees in Hanoi are only one Yellow River away from Luoyang. They must make an immediate decision. While the other party is still unaware, elite officers are sent overnight to directly arrest this animal according to the information provided by Tang Zhou.
Bring to justice!
Secondly, he quickly issued an edict to the officials in Jizhou, asking them to arrest Zhang Jiao immediately in the same way as the leader!
However, after these two emergency measures were put in place, for the first time, there was a split and controversy in the central center regarding the Qushuai and their members from the thirty-sixth party. Perhaps because there were too many involved!
Just look at the two Zhongchangshi who took refuge in Taiping Road. You will know that the eunuchs from Huangmen Supervisor have something to do with Taiping Road, so they seem to be unwilling to see the situation of pulling out carrots and bringing out mud, so
These people all suggested that the emperor should publicly pardon people from the level of Qushuai... The mighty virtue of the Han Dynasty is here, and the emperor's holy name remains the same. They are all subjects of the Han Dynasty. They were just bewitched by the bandit leader. Send an edict.
You can find your way back naturally, so why do you have to fight to the death?
However, whether it is Sangong or everyone at the Shangshutai, although they all feel that this matter should be eliminated as much as possible and that comprehensive turmoil must not be caused by arbitrarily expanding the scope of the attack, they generally believe that Qu Shuai
The backbone of the rebels must be punished severely! Otherwise, where is the dignity of the Han Dynasty?
The emperor had some doubts about this. This smart man had spent too much time in the West Garden and had lost his basic judgment... Of course he knew that the matter was serious and must be taken seriously, but he also knew that the two groups of people had different attitudes.
There's something fishy about it, so I can't help but be a little suspicious.
In short, the emperor felt that he needed to listen to it again and think about it.
In fact, it’s not just the emperor. On weekdays, the imperial ministers and ministers who directly control the power of the empire, these great figures who have an extremely thorough understanding of people’s hearts, laws, and political tricks, how many of them can imagine what will happen next?
What about the matter?
In the final analysis, it seems at this time that this is just a treasonous move that was exposed at the critical moment!
It's just that the scale is bigger and the organization is tighter...can it still shake the Han Dynasty? Is it possible that the countryside outside has begun to say, "The world has been suffering for a long time"?!
As a result, a rapid pursuit began outside, but the DPRK and the Central Government still did not think about the military situation, and only argued endlessly from the perspective of criminal law... It was as if every one of the thirty-six commanders could be easily captured.
On February 15th, Ma Yuanyi, the most trusted and powerful commander in Taiping Road, was arrested and captured.
On February 16th, the Jizhou Governor's Department, which currently had no governor in office, received the official decree from the court in Yecheng. On the same day, Ma Yuanyi was escorted back to Luoyang.
On February 17, after a night of interrogation, Ma Yuanyi was openly beaten to death. On the same day, according to the confessions of Ma Yuanyi's Taipingdao key members who were also arrested in the same case, plus the confessions of two regular servants and their confidants, Luoyang closed the city gates, Sangong, Shangshutai, Huang
The gate supervisors and the Sili Xiaowei Mansion all came out, starting with the bribed palace guards, and began to raid the entire city. Thousands of Taiping Dao believers were arrested and imprisoned.
On February 18, the Jizhou Governor's Department tried to arrest Zhang Jiao at the urging of the imperial envoy, but before the arrest could be made, several spies hiding in the state leaked the news. Zhang Jiao received the news, no longer hesitated, and immediately arrested him in Ju
Lu started the uprising in advance, and at the same time used all means to spread the news in all directions, calling on large and small parties from all over the country to join forces.
So, in the past ten days, countless Yellow Turban believers wrapped their heads in yellow scarves, saying, "The sky is dead, the Yellow Sky will stand." Thirty-six squares, distributed in seven states, all started at once!
And Zhang Jiao claimed to be General Tiangong, his younger brother Zhang Bao claimed to be General Digong, and his younger brother Zhang Liang claimed to be General Renggong. They each contacted and dispatched according to their previous plans, attacked the government, and killed officials to sacrifice to heaven!
When things got to this point, the Central Committee was already a little panicked, but in the end they still stabilized their position. They first stopped the ridiculous punishment dispute in front of the emperor, and then rarely united as one, formulated a military strategy with extremely high efficiency, and then in the emperor's palace
Under his urging, he quickly summoned the county guards, governors, and school captains from all over the country, asking them to dispatch their troops and annihilate these yellow scarf thieves on the spot with military means!
However, what happened next, not to mention the people in the center, even Zhang Jiao did not expect... There is no way, the local government is too vulnerable!
In the past few days, before the central government's previous military orders had received any feedback, Luoyang had taken the initiative to see the summons documents sent quickly from various places. The documents showed that the twenty-eight counties in the seven states of Youji, Yanqing, Xujing, and Xujing were actually all at once.
Emergency! Especially in the two places of Jizhou and Yanyu, the Yellow Turban Army is unstoppable! Officials from all over the country have abandoned their offices and fled, and the official temples are empty. In Qinghe and Anping, the kings of the two countries were actually captured alive!
Not to mention being wiped out on the spot, the rule of the Han Dynasty in these two places has almost completely collapsed!
This is probably what it means when the world responds and the capital is shaken.
At this time, the emperor and all the central officials finally came to their senses... but in turn, they were so panicked that they didn't know what to do.
I really don’t blame these central elites... After more than a hundred years of peace, at most the Liangzhou Qiang were a little more ruthless. Who has ever seen such a situation?!
On the twenty-sixth day of the second month of the Jiazi year, Zhuojun, Youzhou.
At this time, it was only seven or eight days since Zhang Jiao Julu raised his army, but Gongsun Xun had suddenly learned of the traces of the Yellow Turban Army.
Of course, he has not been idle during the past seven or eight days. In the first three days, he basically cleaned up the core members of Taiping Road in Zhuo County and the north of Zhuo County, and worked hard to control the Taiping Road incidents in half of Zhuo County to "cases"
Within the scope... As for the Taiping Dao Xiaofang in the south of Zhuojun who quickly rebelled and occupied Fangcheng, basically we can only give up.
As for the next few days, to be precise, after hearing that most of Guangyang County to the east had been captured by Taiping Road, he was actually working hard to relocate the people on the east side of Zhuo County.
According to the original plan, we should first try to get into the city, and then try to move to the mountainous area on the northwest side of Zhuo County. However, after doing this for a few days, we only gathered a mere 20,000 to 30,000 people, and suddenly came from the east.
According to the news, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang County gave up the attack on the remaining cities of Guangyang, and instead joined the Yellow Turban Army in Yuyang County further east, heading directly towards Zhuo County.
What was expected... Zhuojun is the gateway to Youzhou. If the two big cities of Zhuoxian and Fanyang can fall into the hands of these Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, they can immediately connect to their base camp in Jizhou; and in turn, they can
The posture of being able to advance and attack, and retreat and defend threatens other counties in Youzhou in the north.
In fact, Gongsun Xun believed from the beginning that as long as the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army still had some strategic thinking, they would definitely try their best to capture these two cities.
But he never expected that the other party would come so quickly!
At this time, it had only been seven or eight days since Zhang Jiao raised his army, it had only been eleven or twelve days since Wei You came to inquire, and it had only been only sixty days since Gongsun Xun took office as the prefect of Zhuojun!
"How many people are there?" In the official temple, Gongsun Xun, who was wearing a crown and a sword, was obviously startled for a moment as he lowered his head to write a document, and then immediately raised his head.
"Return to your Majesty," the official said quickly. "There are about twenty to thirty thousand people...at least twenty-five thousand or more! There are too many people, and the main reason is that the bandit army marched in an indiscriminate manner, and the organization is too chaotic, so we can't be careful.
It is estimated that... we may be able to see the bandit vanguard tonight."
Guangyang County borders Zhuo County, or simply it borders Zhuo County. Its fallen southern cities can reach Zhuo County directly, and the distance is only a few dozen miles... As long as they attack, a large force can only take a day at most, and You
If the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, who has captured many cities in Duoma Prefecture, comes in cavalry form, they might be able to arrive in half a day.
"That's not what you mean." Lu Fan frowned and interjected. "Let me ask you, isn't there only one big square called Taiping Road in Guangyang? Counting the small square called Taiping Road in the south of our Zhuo County, even if we add one piece, it won't be enough.
It should be over 20,000, right?”
Yi Cong quickly shook his head: "Return to Mr. Lu, they are all people who have just plotted rebellion. There is no order in their march. I'm afraid they won't be able to make suspicious soldiers... On the plain, covering the sky and the earth, there must be 25,000 soldiers."
More than a large army! Moreover, almost all of this large army crossed the border from Guangyang County in the east, and we have not seen any bandits converging in the southeast."
Lu Fan immediately gave up the fantasy, but asked the other party to go and rest quickly... In fact, Yi Cong was a scout for the local frontier army before following Gongsun Xun in Yanmen. He has always been an expert in this field. Lu Ziheng also started from the beginning.
Deep down, I believed the other party’s judgment.
However, this number is still a bit surprising and nervous.
"Shu Zhi, how many troops are available in the city now?" As soon as the people left, Gongsun Xun, who was in charge, immediately held his pen and looked at Wang Xiu who had been silent on the other side.
Wang Xiu held a volume of documents and replied almost without hesitation: "It depends on whether the monarch wants to defend or attack?"
"How many soldiers can the defender have?"
"If we keep it, there are now four to five thousand men in the city. In an emergency, if we recruit the sons of aristocratic families and good men, and then mobilize the young people in the city, we can have more than ten thousand men!" Wang Xiu thought for a moment and gave an accurate answer.
Answer.
"In other words." Gongsun Xun nodded slightly. "In terms of just defending the city, you probably have nothing to worry about?"
"good."
"Then what if I want to go out and fight in the field to meet the enemy?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask. "How many soldiers can I have?"
"Including the temporarily recruited rangers and the expanded county soldiers, there are now 300 righteous followers, 1,200 cavalry, and 1,600 county soldiers..."
"Three thousand soldiers and horses?"
"No!" Wang Xiu immediately corrected him. "Before, there were more than a thousand strong men who were punished as city guards. These people can help defend the city, but they need someone to look after them. Moreover, there are also 20,000 to 30,000 civilians entering the city. With so many people,
There must be Taiping Dao believers among them, and they also need to be guarded and intimidated." At this point, Wang Shuzhi said frankly. "If you go to war at this time, with the safety of this city in mind, I am afraid that you can only bring the fifteen hundred people with you.
cavalry……"
"What if we temporarily recruit more people from the city?" Gongsun Xun still did not give up.
"It takes time." Wang Shuzhi replied seriously. "There is enough food and cloth, as well as enough cast iron and wood, but it takes time to make ordnance, uniforms, and flags. Without ordnance, how can we go to war?"
Gongsun Xun was speechless.
"It would be great if we were in Zhongshan!" At this moment, Lu Fan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted in frustration.
The three people in the hall, plus Han Dang who was standing at the door, were all silent for a moment.
In other words, this situation is the inevitable consequence of Gongsun Xun's sudden transfer from Zhongshan to Zhuojun!
In Zhongshan, he worked hard for three years. Not only did he hoard a large amount of military supplies and set up a complete defense line, but more importantly, under the banner of public security, he also organized and trained a team of up to five people in the county using the so-called Shiwu method.
A 'security' army of six thousand people.
This is a semi-professional military team filled with local powerful men and good family members, and is organized and rooted in the cities, counties and villages of Zhongshan. It can be mobilized quickly after chaos breaks out and expand to a professional force of more than 10,000 people.
The army should be more aggressive and use this as a skeleton to pull out 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers. It is not necessarily known... If it is still in Zhongshan, it means that there is a larger Taiping Dao invader. I dare not say that an immediate counterattack can hold the enemy at the national border.
Besides, Gongsun Xun is still very confident.
How is it like now?
Of course, in terms of his sixty-day term, Gongsun Xun has actually achieved the ultimate. He at least tried his best to secure Fanyang and Zhuoxian, the two major cities in the county, more than enough to defend the city... And if it continues, he will also
You should be able to gather the strength to fight back.
But again, if we were in Zhongshan... we would have fought already! Why can we just sit in the city and let the troops come to the city?!
However, the four people's frustration quickly disappeared after Lou Zibo came in from the outside in a panic.
"Junhou! Lord Yi, Ziheng, Shuzhi, do you know the strength of the thieves?" Lou Zibofu, who was sweating profusely, asked in a panic as soon as he entered the door. "I met the messenger at the door and saw him.
If you don't know, I'll explain it to him..."
"Already know." Lu Fan sighed helplessly. "More than 25,000 people crossed the border from Guangyang and came straight to our Zhuoxian County..."
Lou Gui was startled for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "That's not it, I don't know about that yet... It was Shen Zhengnan who sent someone to summon him, saying that Zhang Bao from Jizhou personally brought an army of 50,000 to go north, as if he was going to Fanyang
!”
The other four people in the hall were all stunned.
"There are actually twenty to thirty thousand Yellow Turban thieves in Guangyang? And they are coming to us?" After a long pause, Lou Zibo couldn't bear it anymore and kept asking for confirmation. "This should be because of Zhang Bao's military order.
Do you mean to block us?"
No one answered him. After all, the question was self-evident.
In fact, it was only after a long time that Lu Fan broke the silence with a livid face: "Where on earth did so many traitors come from?!"
"That's a good question!" Gongsun Xun smiled instead of being angry, but he threw the brush in his hand on the table, and then slowly leaned on the back of the Taiwei's chair behind him.
Where did the Yellow Turban Army get so many ‘soldiers’?
Before the rebellion, there was only Taiping Road in Guangyang County. At the beginning of the rebellion, there were only 10,000 people, but when they turned to Zhuo County a few days later, the number suddenly increased to more than 20, 30,000 people... Of course
Not only that, they came here after capturing several cities in Guangyang County, so there must be some left behind there.
Although Zhang Bao is some kind of local general, the current main attack direction of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army must be towards Wei County in the south. Youzhou in the north is destined to be just a partial army. How can 50,000 people be summoned in ten days?
!
The answer is very simple. After all, the world has been trying to rebel for a long time! At least this is the case in the hinterland of Hebei!
Political corruption, land annexation, natural and man-made disasters, government officials, princes, eunuchs, aristocratic families, powerful people, exploitation at all levels, blood sucking everywhere, the common people have no place to stand, if not you will die, if you rebel, you will die. Why not follow the Taiping Road to rebel?!
There are also those strong and powerful people who exercise power and do whatever they want to nourish their ambitions, but at the same time they have no way to rise, they cannot seek fame, they cannot become officials, and they are resentful of the Han Dynasty... Then why can't they just follow the Zhang family in a twitch?
Brothers take a gamble?
For now, and even for a period of time in the future, the Yellow Turban Army should expand rapidly. After conquering a city, every time a city is conquered, its strength will increase by one point, and every time a land is conquered, there will be one more soldier.
Pile... No wonder there are so many thieves!
Of course, coming back to the present, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, now is not the time to express emotion. In fact, these thoughts have only been spinning around in his heart for a few times, and he has never said them out...
"Junhou, what should we do with Fan Yang?" Lou Gui asked helplessly. "The enemy's army of fifty thousand went to attack Fan Yang, but the Yellow Turbans from Guangyang have already crossed the border. At this time, Governor Guo wants to retreat to us, but I'm afraid it's too late, right?"
"
Gongsun Xun, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed quietly: "It's not just Uncle Fang? The entire governor's department is now in Fan Yang, Master Lu's family is also in Fan Yang, and even Zhengnan (the word "Shen Pei") is on the west side of Fan Yang.
The Beixin City is stationed in... How can we not save it? And even if we don’t care about these, Fanyang and Zhuoxian are connected from the south to the north. They can be called the gateway to Youzhou. Once Fanyang falls, how stable will our Zhuoxian place be?
Where is Japan? Fan Yang will save you!"
Wang Xiu opened his mouth to speak, but then took the initiative to shut up... He actually wanted to suggest that troops should be mobilized from Liangxiang in the north and Qiuguo in the west. But then he thought about it, not to mention how many troops could be mobilized.
What if someone makes a rebellion after joining the army? Isn’t it just fighting the fire with salary?
"After all, Governor Guo is the official of a state. The other counties should send out reinforcements, right?" After waiting for a while, Lu Fan asked with some uncertainty.
"Reinforcements are almost inevitable. Leaving aside the outside of the Great Wall, there are several counties in Youzhou where the Taiping Road forces are weak, but there are two theories." Lou Gui responded immediately. "One, Guangyang fell.
, to cut off the road, it is not necessarily known how many reinforcements there will be and when they will arrive; secondly, if 50,000 Yellow Turbans besiege Fan Yang, it is also not necessarily known how capable Governor Guo is there and whether he can wait for the reinforcements."
"Uncle Zi is right, you can't place your hopes on others." At this moment, Gongsun Xun, who had been sitting for a long time, suddenly stood up with his knife in his hand expressionlessly, and then said slowly, "And judging from the current situation.
, It is said that under the general trend, we have no choice but to do it by ourselves. In fact, our plan for now is only one strategy... That is to first lure the Guangyang Yellow Turbans to the foot of Zhuoxian City, while using the strong city to kill their energy, and at the same time fully mobilize the good families in the city.
, disciples and prisoners, in order to form an army quickly, and then go out of the city to fight, first defeat the enemy in front of you, and then lead the elite south to break the siege of Fan Yang! Be quick!"
At this point, Gongsun Xun directly named him: "Zi Heng, Shu Zhi, you two will start mobilizing in the city now, recruiting troops and quickly building ordnance! Take that Jian Yong, no one is allowed to be idle at this time!
"
"Yes!" Lu Fan and Wang Xiu agreed quickly.
"Yi Gong went to the military camp to summon the generals to the city. Zibo will follow me now. While observing the city defense and motivating the soldiers, he will wait for the enemy to arrive and see for their weaknesses." Gongsun Xun said, but he did not wear armor, but just walked.
He held the broken sword at his waist and walked out of the temple hall.
Lou Gui and Han Dang naturally responded to their orders with dignity.
Gongsun Xun walked out of the official temple expressionlessly, but he was already smiling when he mounted his horse in front of the official temple, waiting for Gongsun Yue, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Qian Zhao, Wei Yue, Yang Kai and others to lead Han Dang
When I went up to the tower to meet the governor of Zhuojun, he was already chatting and laughing with Lou Gui there.
The generals looked at each other, but secretly admired them... You know, among these people, even though most of them are "heroes of the Three Kingdoms", at this time, most of them have never been on the battlefield!
In the story of Aunt Gongsun, Guan Yunchang, who had always been regarded as a traitor by his opponent's generals, had only killed people at this time, and had never fought in a war!
Zhang Yide was majestic and majestic. Gongsun Xun had known Zhang Yide for sixty days, but he had never suspected that this man was as "enemy of ten thousand people" as Guan Yunchang. However, this local native of Zhuo County, an enemy of ten thousand people, had only killed pigs.
Never fought a war!
Everyone in the city can testify to this!
As for the smooth-talking Liu Xuande, not to mention Emperor Zhaolie, he is now a gangster leader who only knows how to collect protection fees from horse dealers! He was able to do this business under the banner of Gongsun Xun!
There was also Qianzhao. Gongsun Xun didn't know that this confidant with a beard like Zhang Fei was a famous general of Cao Wei in another time and space.
Doubtful, at this time this Lian Zi Jing has absolutely no military experience.
In fact, as far as the eye is concerned, these four "Famous Generals of the Three Kingdoms" together may not have seen as much war as any one of the three Gongsun Yue, Han Dang, and Wei Yue?! However, even if they are both
The famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Han Dang, the so-called "Jiang Biaohu minister", didn't he also look worried after hearing the news in the hall before?
You must know that the task of everyone in Zhuoxian City at this time is not to defend the city... but to quickly eliminate the more than 20,000 Guangyang Yellow Turbans who are about to enter Zhuo County, and to expel the 50,000 Jizhou Yellow Turbans who are about to enter Zhuo County!
Fortunately, Gongsun Xun was able to laugh.
"Everyone." On the east gate of Zhuoxian, when he saw the generals arriving, Gongsun Xun stopped talking and laughing with Lou Gui, but when he turned sideways, he was still smiling. He was holding a knife in one hand and pointing with the other.
The flat horizon to the east. "You should all know that the Guangyang Yellow Turbans are not less than 30,000 in front of you, and they will arrive today or tomorrow...a bunch of chickens and dogs, I want to destroy them in ten days,
In order to repay the country, you may swallow it for me?"
Except for the red-faced Guan Yunchang, all the generals changed their expressions.
——————I am the dividing line between talking and laughing——————
"At the end of the Guanghe year, the Yellow Turbans suddenly broke out, and Shi Xun served as the defender of Zhuo County for sixty days. There were not enough soldiers and horses in the county, and there was a shortage of food and grass. Guo Xun, the governor of Fanyang, was even half-assed, and it became increasingly scarce... One day, he was in the city
Standing with the generals, suddenly there was a report saying: "The 30,000 Yellow Turbans in Guangyang are about to arrive." Everyone thought that there were not enough 3,000 soldiers in the city, and their expressions changed. Du Xun smiled slowly: "Those native chickens and wagging dogs, what are you doing?"
With the help of the kings' prowess, I tried to devour it.' All the generals were safe. Not long after, there was another report saying: 'The whole country of Anping fell, its king was taken prisoner, and the thief chief Zhang Bao led an army of one hundred thousand to Fan Yang.' The faces of the crowd changed.
, looking at Xun with his eyes, he slowly raised his knife and said: 'In this way, you gentlemen, please swallow it quickly, and then help me to deny Zhang Bao to Fan Yang!'" - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Can
